Build the solution with Visual Studio, then run .\HoleDetection data-set.txt where data-set.txt is your point cloud data,
one point per line, space separated coordinates.
The program will output the center, radius and normals for all holes found to stdout. It will also create a holeX.txt which will
will contain boundary points for the Xth hole found.
An IPython notebook is included that I use for testing and verification. The holeX.txt and the original dataset can be plotted
to check if the program works correctly.
